Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys learning new card tricks, I have a few gift ideas that will surely spark his interest and help him enhance his skills:

1. Cardistry Deck: Consider getting him a high-quality deck of cards specifically designed for cardistry. These decks usually have vibrant and eye-catching designs on the backs, which make it visually appealing while performing tricks. It will not only inspire him but also add an extra oomph to his card tricks.

2. Card Magic Book: To fuel your son's passion for card tricks and help him expand his repertoire, gift him a book dedicated to card magic. Choose a beginner-friendly guide with easy-to-follow instructions and diagrams. It will serve as a valuable resource for him to learn new techniques, tricks, and routines.

3. Online Card Magic Course: Enroll your son in an online card magic course. There are numerous platforms and websites that offer comprehensive lessons taught by professional magicians. This will allow him to learn from the comfort of his own home and get personalized feedback on his progress. It's an excellent way for him to improve his skills and gain more confidence in his performances.

4. Magic Trick Set: Surprise your son with a magic trick set that includes a variety of props and accessories. These sets often come with different decks of cards, coins, rings, and other small illusions that will keep him engaged and experimenting with new tricks. It will provide him with a diverse range of materials to practice with and discover new ways to amaze his family and friends.

5. Card Magic Accessories: Consider gifting your son some handy accessories that will enhance his card tricks. A card clip or card guard can not only protect his favorite decks from wear and tear but also add a touch of elegance to his performances. A card mat or close-up pad will provide a smooth surface for practicing card manipulations and flourishes, giving him a more professional feel while performing.

Remember to encourage and support his interest in card tricks by providing opportunities to practice and perform. Consider organizing a small magic show at home with friends and family as the audience, or encourage him to perform at local community events or school talent shows. This will not only be a chance for him to showcase his talent but also help him gain experience and build confidence as a magician.

Ultimately, the best gift you can give is your recognition and support for his passion. By encouraging his interest in card tricks, you are nurturing his creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills – qualities that will benefit him in various aspects of life.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
